I reckon the Bullies will be yapping at our heels for maybe a half and a bit, but then we’ll show them who’s boss, with our rucks and mids leading the way. It won’t be shellacking like the Grannie, but enough to show them, and any other wannabe contenders, that we won’t be going away any time soon.  Dees by around 7 goals.

    The AFL want a record this weekend, guess what no general parking at the G all weekend. Only parking for the toffs and disabled.

    Think Gil needs to tell his vision to the  MCG hob nobs.

    will foodisgrey be wearing their white away strip?

    They probs hope not. White is not the ideal colour to wear when there’s a high probability that one may be sh***ting oneself tonight.

    Yeah he was rambling on about how he wont tell his players to bash up ours but it they wanted to its up to them....what the hell concentrate on playing footy would be the general advice!

    In contrast, Clayton and Josh Dunkley together on the news last night handled the issue professionally and with humour.  Non story and well spoken Clarry. Dunkley too.  Take a look Bevo.

    If the bulldogs come out all aggro they will most likely crash and bash into Max ala Port a few years ago, then try to smash Oliver and maybe Salem.  They have little chance of belting Petracca, most players can't even pull off a tackle.  Even Fritsch might get a serve. 

    Not sure who their really aggro players are, maybe Libba, Hunter and Martin.  Our players will be ready. 

    I just hope the umpires don't go easy on the bulldogs throwing, ducking and flicking and have got over making an example of us with the new 50m rules. 

    Can't find who the umpires are.  Hope it isn't the guy who felt slighted by Tomlinson and paid a 50.  Gavine, I think.

    Dogs don’t have players capable of “bashing” anyone. Compared to us they are about as physical as Olivia Newton-John’s film clip. 

    When the siren sounds to start the match, we go back to 0-0.  All bets are off.  Cant walk around like we are still ‘the premiers’.  Gotta put it all behind us and switch to beast mode.

    Nope - umpires are Howorth, Findlay and Mollison.

    Right. That's work finished for the day. Now to make my way to The Tippler for 5pm opening. Let's hope they have a good range of beers on tap for the new season or it'll be straight onto the espresso martinis. Enjoy the night everyone!

    The paper reckons 60k. Surely there will be 60k Melbourne supporters alone and we're looking at 80k

    It's a shame that it's a school night. It's keeping away my nephews and because they're young their parents too. That's 5 less than it would have been perhaps on a Friday night or Saturday day.

    There's probably a bit of that combined with the other end of the age spectrum - late night, having to navigate this whole ticketing system

    Wrong priorities. School is not as important as football.

    I've seen this posted here, but just seeking clarification...Is the carpark completely closed for General Public parking? I have consulted the MCC site, which is vague at best.

     

    If this is the case, what a complete disgrace. It is a Wednesday night. People want to get home early. Why on earth would you close the car park?  No doubt the metres will be patrolled all over Jolimont. I have an elderly father, he isn't disabled, but relies on driving in. There will be no parks within 2km. He will struggle to walk and why would you want people crammed on public transport. Complete balls up

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
